v1.0.2 build 6 * Fixed volume control issues introduced when I did the listview response changes.

That'll teach me to muck around with thread priorities and not double-check everything afterward. If anybody downloaded build 4 and thought the volume controls seemed jacked up, this fix is for you. Soz.

This was something that's been on the ToDo for a while now. I ought to get it in there. Also...I think I figured out your inverted volume control issue. I'm pretty positive it has to do with certain Visual Styles since I saw this behaviour on my wife's comupter. I never use Visual Styles but she does and certain styles seem to make it happen and others don't. Can you confirm this? I'll see if adding an option to invert the control will fix this issue.

v1.0.2 build 38 + Added a Last.fm entry to the edit/context menu. You can go directly to the artist/album/title on Last.fm's website. [Thanks, app103] + Added the Edit menu to the minibar's menu. ! Further fixes to the Last.fm submit checks. [Thanks, app103] * Changed up the 'Minimize to tray on startup' routine to be more reliable. [Thanks, app103]

1) I'm wondering is there an easy way to refresh the current folder -currently the only way I see is to reload it - (F5 would be a nice option to have)2) another very minor thing is:with playmode set to random could I dictate the first file to play?3) could there be a column with just file name ?

Hmmmm...I think I may have misunderstood your initial request. I added an option to re-scan tags (thinking that was what you wanted). I'm guessing now that you want an option where you can set a folder or folders to re-scan for new files, right?

I thought that might be the case. I'm trying to wrap my head around how to implement such a function, though. I mean...you can have files from multiple folders in the list so how would I know which folder you want to rescan? All of them? Just the selected row's folder? Is there another player out there that does this in the manner that you like? I know the latest foobar will automatically watch folders you specify and add/synch the files to its database. However, it doesn't automatically add them to the playlist.

Mabye I'm making this more complicated than it seems, but would you mind providing a bit more detail as to how you would like this to work?

Maybe this would be easy possible if the playlist was directory based, like in Apollo. Another player which uses a directory based playlist is QuickPlayer, but so this one might be able to support such feature, it only supports a list of folder which is updated (removed and re-added) on certain events (F5, changes, startup). It doesn't support tags etc in playlist (so it doesn't have to synchronize), and it does not support 'flat' playlists, nor rearrangements of songs in playlist.

For 'flat' playlists, if you could determinate which is the 'root' of a folder, e.g.:E:\Music\Generic\Camouflagecould be eitherE:\Music\Generic,E:\Music orE:(That's why a list of folders to be synchronized/updated/re-read is handy, or you ask the user etc)You could either (if you like the challange)a)* remove all songs which are withing and readd them (either playlist end, or even the position where the selected song itself was/is/would be) b) remove all preceding and following songs until you encounter a song that is not within the directory (here you should definitely re-add there)

till now, guess a) makes thinks bit easier, because the playlist can only go shorter, so you could add new songs to the same array as your regular playlist, then process and sync all songs.

c) determinate the 'root' which all songs have in common (for each drive?)... propably best for users using (adding) one folder where all music is stored

Both ways you would have to either synchronize tags (best create the new list and sync when removing afterwards?), or read them again (bad - at all I dislike tags for playlists because I already have name them on disk, and don't want to have to fix all those messed up / add new tags too just to have each player work hard on all my music files each time and not showing trash)

Still leaves the problem that if you have a 'perfect arranged' playlist synchronizing will probably mess this totally up (guess nobody would sync such a list anyway), so you could

d) process all affected songs, remove missing songs only, and add those not yet present in the playlist to the end of the playlist. That way all still existing files stay in position (and no synchronizing of tags is needed, you just would have to scan tags for the new entries)

If you implent, don't forget to add detection of removable devices and add a menu to easliy 'sync' those too.

Another interesting, but maybe strange concept (for some users), and not so recommend for arranged playlists:e) Like d), but instead of adding to the end of playlist, compare with all affected sync items that have not been removed (or maybe all items(?)) and choose best match for adding (adding before/after according to alphabethic sorting). However, best match detecting would be some tricky...

d) process all affected songs, remove missing songs only, and add those not yet present in the playlist to the end of the playlist. That way all still existing files stay in position (and no synchronizing of tags is needed, you just would have to scan tags for the new entries)

Yes, it is, mainly because Trout doesn't really work on a directory level; it cares about full paths. However, I could envision an option where you could add a folder or folders that Trout would know to sync the list from. Does that make sense?

Hmm, I love the idea of having an ahk tool to play music.However, I cannot get it to work. It just doesn't show up... I reported my problem here. Of course this is my computer only. I'm just posting here in case anyone (skwire?) knows what all the programs that don't pop up have in common. I use other ahk tools and they do pop up fine.
